I have blown a lot of money on vehicles Norm,but as I don’t smoke and only have a few cans of beer at home and have never been abroad,its my one indulgence…
I have owned my own place outright for over thirty years,so my one pleasure has been having a tidy vehicle.
I don’t buy anything to pose,or anything I can’t afford.The two vehicles I have now are probably now the oldest I have had.
I may take a plunge and update one of them,but I don’t fancy buying a new one again and going trough the hassle of getting the right gear etc fitted for me.I would prefer to buy a low mileage sprinter which is already converted.
I know where one is,but the price is to high…but it might drop. 
Cheers Dave.
If you want it,and you can afford it Dave, get it life is for enjoying.

I would then be driven to drink, 
so I would have to go into liquidation, get all those 50 pound notes out of your mattress and pay for it. I will sleep better and you will certainly be more comfortable without those lumps

Haven’t seen a fifty pound note for years Norm,don’t think they are legal tender now.Never had many pass through my hands anyway.No lumps in my mattress,its an orthopaedic one. I think I will soldier on with my two vans.The roads are that rough nowadays,it puts you off buying anything else.
Cheers Dave.
I bet old Harry has a few stored away, even some old fivers. My old mate Bill still has a ten bob note, he used to have it on a piece of elastic, so it would zip back into his wallet.
Dave I still think Harry has sneaked off somewhere warm, never been so quiet, I miss him! 
But then again, you would miss a boil on your backside if it dis-appeared.
Hi Norm
He’s probably sneaked off to bed until the 27th and said " Bah Humbug " to the festivities.
Cheers Dave.
Dave I bet where ever Harry is, he is warm, and a drink in his hand and a bottle of malt whisky not too far away! By the way Dave £50 pound notes still legal tender.

Tell me where these £50 notes can be found,because I haven’t seen one for 20 years or more.But we live in a very poor area on the Welsh Border. 
Cheers Dave.
Dave I couldn’t answer this thread, for the tears in my eyes, due to your lack of wealth in your area, I nearly went to the bank to draw a fifty pound note to show you, but alas they are not open over the christmas period. 
But if I do get in your area, I will make sure I have one in my wallet.
Norman Ingram:
Dave I couldn’t answer this thread,
Norm,don’t give me that codswallop.The banks were open yesterday and today,being banks,they only shut on bank holidays and weekends. You will have to take a trip to this area and let me see one of these mystical £50 notes.I won’t take it off you,as I have managed on my meagre bit of money,and know no different.I wouldn’t know what to do with money if I had it.
Cheers Dave.
Fifty quid notes eh Dave, thought only gaffers got those? 
Are they five times larger than tenners do you reckon, if so then I can see how these wealthy East Midlands folk can paper walls with them as it wouldn’t take too many. Maybe they use them as a duvet to snuggle under with the missus, either way we aint going to know in the Welsh Borders or the North Midlands.
Pete.
No stockbrokers or rich folk living in our area’s Pete.I’m not envious of Norm with all his money. He has led a good life earning good money with BRS and caning the turf accountants.I’m not into horse racing and every time I came into anywhere with sand I had to use a shovel to mix it with cement.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Once as a young fellah and still working as a coalminer due to atrocious
weather the afternoon shift couldn’t get to work and we couldn’t get
away so rather than do nothing we volunteered to do a double shift the
coalfaces had to be moved forward and the pit kept pumped dry the pay
day of the following week rendered a white fiver among the offerings in
my packet I’d never had one before,my wage in those days for a flat week
was under a fiver I felt like a millionaire and that must have been the only
time money didn’t burn a hole in my pocket I kept it for as long as I could
and it was like a scruffy piece of newspaper when I finally had to change it
and the landord gave it a lot of scrutiny before he handed me my change.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry I suppose you must be well on the way to becomming pie eyed by now, but I will keep a check up on you in my own cunning way!
Happy new year to all my friends and readers of this thread. 
Same to you and your family Norm.Hope 2013 is a good year for you.
Cheers Dave & Tracy.
